Travelpro Platinum Elite 50-Inch Rolling Garment Bag, Shadow Black

I wasn’t sure this was going to really fit my longer clothes and that I couldn’t take a lot and would b limited. Both assumptions were wrong. My long clothes fit perfectly ( I did have to hang my jumpsuits by the waists but that was fine. And being able to hang half on one end and half on the other end was perfect. And again was surprised that I could put all my shoes, pockets books, etc in the “pockets” and that worked great as well. It folder up and zipped well . It’s a bit heavy if full but not u manageable. I agree with others , it would b perfect with 4 spinner wheels but it works well with the two wheels. Heavy duty as well so made really well.

Pricey bag but huge! Holds a lot. Have taken several trips and seems to be pretty durable. Four wheels would be ideal, but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend.

- As a long time user of a Samsonite garment style bag of checked baggage size, I needed to replace it after 10+ years of hard use, and air travel all over the world. While the Travel Pro 50 is more expensive than a Samsonite equivalent, it is a rugged and robust bag with a large capacity. I needed it right away and Amazon could deliver it faster (2 Days), than a Samsonite equivalent. The local Samsonite store did not have the style I wanted in store and order delivery from Samsonite or Amazon was too late for my impending travel. - Be sure to go onto the Travel Pro site to read about how to use the TSA approved travel lock, because the card that comes with the bag is hard to read (small print and unclear diagram). You will want to do this because you will need to put the zipper pulls into the lock, so they won't be damaged during airline baggage handling. Even if you don't set your own combination and leave it at the factory setting you need to know how the lock works.

We originally purchased the Max-Lite rolling garmet bag, but it didn't hold enough clothes for two people on a longer trip. This bag got us through different climates and occasions for two weeks while staying under 50lbs., despite being a bit heavier (empty) than the Max-Lite. The hanging bars at both ends, all the pockets and cubbies, including the plastic-lined ones for items that may be wet or leak, make it ideal for longer trips without worrying about creases and wrinkles. The bag makes packing and unpacking so much easier because everything is already on hangars - no folding and unfolding required. Tip: Use the slimmer felt-covered hangars for maximum storage. Those crystal plastic hangars and wooden hangars limit the packing space, especially if they are angled, such as the ones used for a mens suit. One downside was that it can't be hung over a door because of the hanging bars at both ends, and it takes up a lot of space when the zip-around flap is opened. So, if you have to live out of a suitcase without unpacking it, this bag has a large footprint. Also, it is wide when closed and only has two wheels, so it's not as maneuverable as a slimmer, four-wheeled bag. But that was a reasonable trade-off for the extra space, especially since the bag has to be checked-in anyway. That could be a consideration for other types of travel though. The bag looks like new after several flights with transfers, car trips, and handling by bell-services. It is highly recommended if you need to carry a lot, prefer a garment bag to a suitcase, don't mind the inability to hang it up, or the wider berth it requires for wheeling around.

My fiance travels quite a bit for work and some work trips require dress pants and shirts. His old garment bag was well loved and worn, so when it was time for a replacement he wanted to make sure he had a quality bag. He doesn't like cheap and I didn't want to spend a fortune on an overpriced designer bag, so this was perfect. Good quality, great price. It's a win win.

So, I purchased this bag in advance of a trip that I had scheduled a few months later. When I finally pulled the bag out to use it, one of the clips wouldn't lock. With the 30-day Amazon return policy having expired, I thought "No problem. They have a lifetime warranty. I will just have it fixed, right?" Unfortunately wrong. I contacted TravelPro which directed me to the nearest repair center. The day after I dropped it off, the repair center called to say that TravelPro doesn't have the part in stock (what?) and, therefore, it is NOT under warranty (again, what??). They would be happy to fix it, but their clip will not match and it will cost me $48!!! Words of wisdom. Get this bag out when you receive it and give it a fine-tooth combing but, more importantly, do NOT be fooled by the so called warranty. The fact that they don't even have those clips in stock (probably an item that costs less than a dollar), means they likely don't have many parts in stock. And why won't TravelPro pay for the repair?? UPDATE: TravelPro has since stopped taking phone calls for customer support. Everything is email or live chat, to which they don't respond to either.

Durable and versatile. I have been using my smaller Travelpro suiter for over 20 years and it has been all over the world and survived the baggage gorillas from every major airline. This piece is made in the same vein, only larger.

It’s a good size but I would prefer 4 wheels, wish my wife had noticed that before buyin
